澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring's director says both himself and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware at large don't feel pressured by❀ other games in the 'Sඣouls-like' genre.

The Souls-like genre, or difficult third-person action games that use a specific type of checkpointing as others might call them, have been on the rise over the last few years in particular. We've had the likes of the great 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lies of P, the excellent 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Remnant 2, and the enthralling 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lords of the Fallen reboot, to name just a few stellar Sou𝓰ls-like games from 2023 alone.

. "And so they're giving us that chance to continue making what we enjoy and what we like. And it helps us to not have that feeling of being trapped.

"I think once you go down that avenue of making something purely because it's successful, that's when you may start to see less success," the Elden Ring director continues. No one can accuse FromSoftware of repeatedly going back to its biggest successes purely for the sake of it - Bloodborne trends basically every other week on Twitter at this point, and there still hasn't been a PS5 remaster for the game or a sequel.

Speaking of, though, Miyazaki comments elsewhere that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:he's "very happy" people want a B✨loodborne remake, even if he couldn't actually confirm it was happening. It seems that since Sony owns the IP to෴ Bloodborne, whether anything happens with the game at all in the future is entirely out of From🌞Software's hands. 

We've still got other Souls-likes on the horizon for the near future, including Black Myth: Wukong, which is due out later this year on August 20. As for FromSoftware itself, Shadow of the Erdtree releases on June 21, which marks the next huge venture for the studio in the form of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring DLC. What the future holds for the studio beyond that is a🐟🧜nyone's guess.
